Question

A soil has bulk density of 22kn/m3 and water content 10%.the dry density of soil is

Answer 1

Bulk density is the weight of soil in a given volume. Soils with a bulk density higher than 1.6 g/cm3 tend to restrict root growth. Bulk density increases with compaction and tends to increase with depth. Sandy soils are more prone to high bulk density.

Answer 2

Answer:

20 kN/m^3

Explanation:

Given:

Bulk Density Soil=22kN/m^3

Water Content (W)=10%

=10/100

W=0.1

Dry Density of soil=Bulk Density of soil/(1+W)

=22/(1+0.1)

=20 kN/m^3 answer.
